SITE/FOUNDATION
A pump should be located near the supply of liquid
and have adequate space for operation, maintenance,
and inspection.
Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted to a
concrete foundation, which has been poured on a solid
footing. The foundation must be able to
absorb any vibration and to form a permanent, rigid
support for the pumping unit.
The location and size of the foundation bolts are
shown on the outline assembly drawing, provided with
the pump data package.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type (Fig.
4A) and J type (Fig. 4B). Both designs permit
movement for final bolt adjustment.
